Mexican players Carlos Vela nets thrilling time to South Africa in the 37th minute. But the cancellation occurred because the goals disallowed by referee Ravshan Irmatov.

Vela was sentenced earlier are in an offside position. The reason is when receiving the ball, in front there was only one player Steven Pienaar of South Africa ie.

Pienaar is not a goalkeeper. But do not know the offside rule differences goalkeeper or non-goalie players. Offside occurs when the attacker receives the ball when there was only one player who was in front of your opponent (in this case Pienaar).

The football crowd is 'indoctrinated' if an offside occurs if a player receives the ball when attacking in front of her residence there opponent goalkeeper. In this case, to avoid confusion, Pienaar could be described as goalkeeper in the ordinary events offside. South Africa own goalkeeper, Itumeleng Khune, already advanced to block the ball and missed.

So the referee in this match has issued right decisions. Vela was offside.
